Prompt: Texture

by Kristi on December 4, 2025


I went and looked at my other prompts for December. Intentions said: “How you are a different person from the start of the year’ Umm… nope! I mean, I COULD go somewhere with that.. but tonight? No. Evening said: “A setback from the year you overcame and what it taught you”.… Oh god, no. Haven’t […]

Prompt: Unrealistic

by Kristi on December 2, 2025


It’s a Tuesday and I’m reluctant to write but needing to anyway. I had three prompt images that I saved for December and I dislike all of them but choose the least annoying. Unrealistic expectations to release. This is a painful one. This requires some soul searching that I absolutely don’t want to do but […]

Tender days

by Kristi on November 29, 2025


It’s 1:52pm and the morning has been long and filled with good and hard moments. Mostly good ones. I have two couches full of teenagers watching a Star Wars movie and giggling every few seconds. I have hidden upstairs. We decorated our house for Christmas while Sam was still home. I got a bunch of […]

The Great Holiday Movie Binge: Part 1

by Kristi on November 23, 2025


The Good, The Bad, and The Cringey… Alright, tis the season to completely abandon all regular television programming (not that I was watching much) and dive headfirst into the glittery, predictable, sometimes awful world of holiday movies. I’ve started obsessively watching them and am here to report back my findings so you don’t waste your […]

Prompt: Proud of myself

by Kristi on November 8, 2025


Forcing myself to sit down and write for 20 minutes. I could write today’s prompt… or I could write TOMORROW’S prompt and schedule it for tomorrow because I’m silly like that. Or just write it and post it and not schedule it on the exact day it needs to be…. Self care was alllll day […]

Spreading of ashes

by Kristi on November 1, 2025


This was a weird day. Still trying to frame it up in my mind as there were so many things happening in it. It took awhile to schedule but we finally got it on the books. Katie asked me to do the evite. I did a single poster board. JJ did the catering but also […]

Taylor day. It was a weird day. I had the BEST MEETINGS in the morning. My team meeting was literally everyone showing off their summer vacation photos. It was so cute. Totally uplifting. But then I got into a weird mood in the afternoon and couldn’t shake it. And I went on a 2 mile […]

Crucial

by Kristi on September 14, 2025


I wanted to actually finish the book before I wrote about it but I’m super close and feel like I need to write tonight, even if I don’t exactly know the topic. Crucial Conversations is a book I have heard about for years. My company has a class that they teach about it and the […]

Connected

by Kristi on September 7, 2025


One of the next September prompts that looked interesting was talking about one person you connected with that day. It was the prompt for last Thursday. That day was fairly busy. Early morning meetings, later morning workout… and a bunch of busywork for some upcoming slides I need to get ready with planned for the […]

One thing

by Kristi on September 2, 2025


My thoughts are racing so I’m setting a 10m timer and choosing a prompt! What’s one thing that made me smile today? I think I’ll list out a few… I was working out on the elliptical when G texted me for my Peloton login. We were on vaca the day before and I was talking […]

Glory

by Kristi on August 30, 2025


There was a group of talented kids from Huston and OCSA that decided to direct and produce RENT through Huston. I love Rent. I think I’ve only seen it once on Broadway but I’ve listened to thousands of hours of Glory, Light my Candle, Another Day, Without You, La Vie Boheme, Take Me or Leave […]

Choice

by Kristi on August 22, 2025


I love those little moments where the universe aligns and a sense of peace washes over me. I have to think, “Why was I so emotional yesterday?” or “Why did I want to die on that hill?” How can I have that sense of peace all the time? I think some of it comes down […]

17

by Kristi on August 17, 2025


Sam left for her 2nd year of college today. Oof. I don’t know why the 2nd year seems harder. The last week has been difficult. She’s been in a mood. Off and on but mostly on. She came into my office yesterday. I paused my movie I was multi-tasking with and swung my chair around […]

I’m so happy that I have Taylor content to focus on. I have gotten NOTHING done today – well that is not quite true. I did get three things done today. But now I’m just sitting here obsessing. I was on the phone with N for awhile going over all the theories before the white […]

Gracie & Griff

by Kristi on August 9, 2025


This week was hard. Not gonna lie. I’m moving through it. Sam and I were in the car on the way to her doctor’s appointment on Thursday and she mentioned how one of her friends was selling Gracie Abram’s tickets that night. I had seen two of my friends at her concert the night before […]
